Inserting your sim card
Before you start using your Xda Guide you’ll need to insert your sim card. This contains
your mobile phone number.
Make sure the Xda Guide is turned off.
Remove the back cover by using your thumb or finger to
lift it from the bottom.
Remove battery. Look for the sim card slot (top right of
the space) and place the sim card in it with the gold
contacts facing down and the cut-off corner matching
the shape of the slot.
Slide the sim card completely into place.
Installing the battery
Line up the battery’s copper contacts with the connectors in
the battery compartment and push it into place.
Make sure that the free end of the ribbon is showing above the
battery (you will use this to pull the battery out again when you
need to).
Replace the back cover.

7
Installing a microSD™ card
Using a microSD card gives you additional memory to store anything you want.
We’ve included one with your Xda Guide which contains map data for the CoPilot®
(Sat Nav) application, but you can use the available space on it to store other things,
such as photos and music files.
Remove the back cover and you’ll see the microSD slot on the top right above the
battery compartment.
Slide in the microSD card with the gold contacts facing down and make sure it clicks
fully into place.
To remove, press the microSD card until it clicks and releases.

8
Charging the battery
The battery in the Xda Guide should be partially charged, but you’ll need to
charge it properly before you start using it.
Plug the USB connector of the AC adapter into the slot on your Xda Guide.
Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.
It should take about 3 hours to fully charge the battery.

9
Assembling the in-car holder
Match the two tabs on the base with the slots on the cradle and slide it firmly down
until the tabs click into place.
Installing the in-car holder in your vehicle
Place the suction pad on a smooth surface, such as the windscreen, and push the lever
so that the suction pad attaches itself firmly.
Always ensure that the base is very firmly attached to the surface or it may work loose
and fall off.

10
Using the in-car holder to hold your Xda Guide
Line up the bottom edge of the Xda Guide with the bottom of the cradle
and push the top edge back so that it clicks into the top part of the cradle.
Check that it’s firmly held in place.
Tip: When the Xda Guide is switched on and placed in the in-car holder, the
NaviPanel opens automatically so you can use the GPS.
To remove the Xda Guide from the holder use your thumb to push the top edge
of the cradle up slightly and with your fingers, push the Xda Guide, through the
hole at the back of the cradle, before lifting it away.

Switching on
Once you’ve inserted your sim card and fully charged the battery, you’re ready to switch
on your Xda Guide.
Press the power button.
A Quick Start Wizard takes you through the calibration of the screen and sets up the
timezone, date, time and password.
Follow the onscreen instructions to go through each setting. Once the Wizard finishes,
your Xda will save the new settings and restart.

12
Setting up your data connection settings
After your Xda Guide restarts, you’ll be asked if you want to automatically set up its data
connections. This means the Xda Guide will set up your 3G/GPRS and data for you.
To automatically set up your data connection settings
1. When you see the Connection Setup message at the bottom of the screen, tap OK.
Connection Setup then starts to set up your Xda Guides data connection settings.
2. After the Connection Setup is complete, tap Restart.

The TouchFLO™ home Screen
The TouchFLO screen is the Xda Guide home screen and from here you can access
functions such as contacts, messaging, email, music and internet.
Touch the icon on the screen to open the next window.
